I’m not totally comfortable with all the establishment endorsements of Cruz, but I am not sure why anyone is surprised about about them either. In the run-up to the 1980 election, George HW Bush and Ronald Reagan had some very nasty fights. Anyone remember Bush’s speech when he called Reaganomics “Jonestown Economics”?
The establishment is not going to go away regardless of who wins. They may hate Cruz, but they respect his intelligence and feel they can deal with him. Trump is simply too erratic in their view. A loose cannon that can’t be predicted.
The whole point of the Trump movement is to rid ourselves of the entrenched Washington politicians, those corrupted criminals of both parties who do the will of their globalist masters, and not the will of the people. What has Cruz done? He has done everything he can to maintain the power structure, it will be business as usual in Washington, and likely Jeb Bush the nominee. After all Bush said he would be, and Cruz is going to ensure it.
By their fruits you shall know them. And Cruz is establishment fruit, changing nothing, deceiving the people, giving them the pretense for a little while they are not voiceless and powerless, and so will mindlessly following the “renegade” Cruz, the Judas goat who will bring them back into the fold to be shorn and shackled, and then business as usual for the elites and their globalist masters.
